Default Movie Etiquette Rant

I know we've talked about this before.. but why can't people stop being so ridiculously rude throughout every movie?

I'd love to be able to say this just once:

Hey you! Yes, You!

Turn off the PHONE! All the Way OFF! Yes, we can all see you Texting during the movie.. you know the little bright light that enables you to see what you're writing? Guess what!? We can see it too! Especially in a Dark Theater Einstein. Are you really that important and can't wait 1.5 hours to receive or return a call or a text?

No, you are not, trust me.

You do NOT have to dig through your popcorn bag and slurp the last residue of liquid through your straw during each and every quiet, suspenseful scene of the movie. Just because you can't hear yourself chomp and rustle, doesn't mean that we all can't. We CAN! Have some manners and hold out for two seconds until an action scene or loud music comes on and then dig away.

Please teach your youngsters to be quiet! They shouldn't even be in a theater if they can't control their whining, crying and incessant talking. Wait for the DVD, they'll be happier, you'll be happier and for God's Sake, I'll be ecstatic.


Believe it or not, I can't focus on the movie between your outbursts and explanations of the script/dialogue/plot to your date. Fill them in afterwards. Better yet, stay home and get the book.

I'm sick and tired of paying close to $50 bucks to have every movie we watch ruined by rude, clueless, idiotic neanderthals that can't figure out that it's not all about them all the time and that their precious conversations can wait until after the movie.

There, I've ranted and feel better now. Better here than venting to the actual movie destroyer because if that happens one of you might have to come and bail me out. Btw, does pouring popcorn on someone's head count as assault? lol
